Motorcycle Safety

Riding a motorcycle, you are far more likely to get in an accident and far more likely to get hurt than if you are driving a car. According to The US Highway Safety Authority, in 2019, 20.2 cars out of 100,000 ended up in fatal crashes. The rate for motorcycles is 66.7 per 100,000.

Don’t sell your motorcycle, just keep safety in mind. Here are a few ideas to make your riding safe and enjoyable. Before you hit the road complete a safety check.

• Check lights and brakes
• Check fuel levels
• Make sure mirrors are adjusted to you

While on the road be a defensive driver:

• Follow speed limits
• Don’t drive impaired
• Don’t weave through traffic
• Brake smart

Did you know that 47% of all motorcycle crashes occur at intersections? Or that, on average, three motorcyclists are killed every day in the U.S. as a result of multi-vehicle crashes at intersections. So be very alert when approaching and driving through intersections.

A motorcycle rider not wearing a helmet is 40% more likely to sustain a fatal head injury in a crash than a rider without a helmet. When cars and motorcycles collide, it’s usually because the driver of the car never saw the motorcyclist.
